Biafra: Buhari’s Military delegation visit and the anger of Igbo Leaders

Cross sections of Igbo leaders, clerics and activists who were consulted by the high powered military delegation form the presidency on issues pertaining to Biafra agitations, marginalization and the best ways to restore the confidence of the people of the South East in the project called Nigeria, have expressed anger that six months after the visit of the military officers, nothing concrete has been done to make the Igbo nation feel a sense of belonging.

The clerics, igbo leaders and activists have specifically expressed their anger and worry at the Director General of Igbo Mandate Congress, Rev Obinna Akukwe, who played a vital role in ensuring that the meeting with the military high command took place. They many occasions, including series of meetings on rampaging herdsmen and build up to the burial of Rev Pa JMJ Emesin , Father of Igbo Pentecostal Revival Movement, in Enugu and Aguleri last week to privately express disappointment that all they demanded that government should do for the Igbo are yet to be implemented and they asked Rev Akukwe to take their complaint to the appropriate quarters.

Weeks before the Biafra protests ensued, the Presidency had reportedly mandated the military chiefs to seek means of resolving issues capable of turning the nation into a battle ground and destabilize the Buhari presidency. They identified the South East, South South and North East as areas where the destabilization of Nigeria could start but bureaucratic bottlenecks hampered their activities.

56 Bishops storm burial of Rev Pa JMJ Emesin, Father of Igbo Pentecostal Movement

No fewer than 56 Bishops mostly from the Anglican and Pentecostal blocks attended the burial of Rev Pa JMJ Emesin, Father of Igbo Pentecostal Movement, at Aguleri, Anambra State last week.
The massive turnout of sympathizers created some issues especially with crowd controls even as the officiating clerics unanimously asked God to protect whosoever will take over the baton as the leader of the Pentecostal movement in Igbo land to follow after the pious footsteps of Pa Emesin.

The Governor of Anambra State and the Chairman of Christian Association of Nigeria, South East, Willie Obiano and Archbishop Professor David Ebelechukwu respectively, though unavoidably absent to attend to urgent security matters, sent high powered delegation.

Eze Chukwuemeka Eri, the traditional ruler of the Nri Kingdoms and custodian of Igbo-Jewish heritage and ancestry, was present with his chiefs to pay homage to the sage. Pa Emesin died at the age of 85.
Bishops who thronged the burial stadium included Rt Rev  Johnson Ekwe; Anglican Bishop of Niger West Diocese, Rt. Rev.Ralph Okeke ( Anglican Bishop of Ihiala Diocese); Bishop Paul Nwachukwu, (General Superintendent, Grace of God Mission); Bishop OC Dominic (National Evangelical Mission), Bishop Godwin Ezenwafor (Royal Family Church); Archbishop A.A Nwodka (Throne Cathedral), Bishop Tony Okeke; Bishop Emma Obiora  Bishop Goddy Nnaji, Bishop Tim Obidike, Bishop Raph Ndife (PFN Chairman, Anambra State), Archbishop Mojo, Apostle Dr PCJ Macjossy (General Coordinator , General Assembly of all Igbo Christian Organizations and Ministers, GAAICOM), Pastor Emma Okonkwo (Truth and Life Charismatic Gospel Mission) among others.

Igbo Mandate Congress Commends Gowon for Accepting Igbo Son after 48 Years of Abandonment

Press Release
Igbo Mandate Congress, IMC, has commended Nigeria’s former Head of State, General Yakubu Gowon for accepting responsibility for the paternity of his Igbo Son, Jack Musa Ngonadi Gowon, after forty eight years of denial, abandonment, victimization and slander. Gowon had in a signed statement two weeks ago, accepted paternity over his Igbo son, after 40 years of civil war.

Igbo Mandate Congress recalls that Jack Ngonadi Musa Gowon was jailed by the United States authority twenty two years ago, due to drug related offences. IMC believes that Musa Gowon was a victim of tribal hatred, frustration and rejection which led to loss of over two million Biafrans civilians between 1966 and 1970, including a torn love relationship between her mother, Edith Ike and then Head of State Colonel Yakubu Gowon.

Igbo Mandate Congress have initially made arrangements, as disclosed publicly, in the press release of  November 25th to accord Musa Gowon, a rousing welcome, whenever he was released by the US Immigration authorities, en-route Nigeria.

Ex-Nigerian Head Of State, Gowon, Accepts 48-Year-Old Igbo Son After DNA Test, Igbo Mandate Congress Pressures

Nigeria’s former military head of state, Yakubu Gowon, has confirmed his paternity of a 48-year-old man recently deported from the United States.
Mr. Gowon announced Wednesday that a DNA test had proven Musa Jack Ngodadi is his biological son.
Musa Gowon, who had been in jail in the U.S. for 22 years, was pardoned by President Barrack Obama in 2015, cutting short the 40-year prison term he was to serve for alleged drug related crime of which he was found guilty on November 18, 1992.
Musa, a striking lookalike of the former head of state, returned to Nigeria on January 1, 2016, after the U.S. Immigration officials deported him.

He was the product of a romance in the 1960s between General Gowon, then a military head of state, and one Igbo damsel, Edith Ike-Okongu, who was said to have ended her love affairs with the ex-military ruler over the Nigerian Civil War and how it was being prosecuted under Gowon’s watch.
Edith was said to have protested the manner Nigerian troops had maimed and killed her fellow Igbos, under a government of a man she was in love with.
Conflicting reports say she left Nigeria with a pregnancy or with the child their romance had produced to settle in the U.S., while the then young bachelor, Gowon, got married to his present wife, Victoria.

Pastor Series 6: Johnson Suleiman: Apostle of Judgmental Fire on Evil Politicians and Occult Masters

 

Written by Obinna Akukwe

 

Johnson Suleiman is an Apostle sent by God on a mission of sending judgmental fire on evil politicians and occult grand masters holding positions of power and influence in Nigeria.

Johnson Suleiman is a man engraced by God to openly confront political and economic rulers of Nigeria the manner Prophets Elijah and Elisha confronted evil kings and kingdoms in the Bible. In I kings 18, Elijah confronted and rebuked King Ahab. Elijah was later sent by God to confront King Hezekiah in 2 Kings 1: 20 ^" But the angel of the Lord told Elijah, who was from Tishbe, “Go and confront the messengers of the king of Samaria and ask them, ‘Is there no God in Israel? Why are you going to Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron, to ask whether the king will recover? ⁴ Now, therefore, this is what the Lord says: You will never leave the bed you are lying on; you will surely die.’” So Elijah went to deliver the message". Elisha was also an advisor to Kings (2Kings 6:32-33, 7: 1-3) therefore Suleiman’s calling is not strange.

 

Johnson Suleiman has been tasked of God to fearlessly confront and rebuke evil rulers and attack the satanic forces behind their power, influence and finances and I pray that he continues with this strategic ministry.

Why Tompolo must not be arrested: Niger Delta Elders Should Act Fast

Written by Obinna Akukwe

General Ekpemupolo, also known as General Tompolo, General Officer Commanding defunct Camp 5, Niger Delta Militant Zone in Gbaramutu Kingdom must not be arrested by the EFCC, if the entire Niger Delta struggle started by Isaac Adaka Boro, will not go extinct, and I believe that Niger Delta elders and politicians should discuss with the FG before a great humiliation is brought to the region.

In a recent write-up titled ‘Tompolo Boys Defy Buhari, Vows to Set Nigeria Ablaze’ I elaborated on the current standoff that ‘the dilemma is that if Tompolo surrenders, humiliation untold will accompany him. Ibori may be better than him. If Tompolo fights back, the nation will burn but Gbaramutu Kingdom will be another case of human rights violations in the hands of security agencies. If Tompolo capitulates, the Niger Delta struggle will be buried because this man has enough influence to marshal out formidable forces more than the rest of the groups.

Tompolo Boys Defies Buhari, vows to Set Nigeria Ablaze

Written by Obinna Akukwe

Information from reliable sources craving anonymity, whose tips are always credible , have indicated that Warri High Chief General Ekpemupolo aka General Tompolo may order his boys to blow up more pipelines and plunge the nation into oil crisis if soldiers who have invaded Gbaramutu Kingdom in search of him, and ransacking the whole creeks, is not withdrawn.

The High Court sitting in Lagos had earlier in January sought for the arrest of the charges of corruption in excess of N30 Billion naira. Tompolo, fearing humiliating arrest and detention, had through his lawyer, defied the court directives and failed to answer to Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, (EFCC) investigations. The same court has listed his properties for auction if he fails to surrender.

War in the Creeks as Buhari, Tompolo Alliance Crumbles

written by Obinna Akukwe

Buhari and Tompolo to the best of my knowledge entered into alliance, some weeks after the Presidential inauguration where the later wanted the cooperation of the former to ensure that there is peace in the Niger Delta and that Biafra agitators do not form alliance with Niger Delta militants. This alliance was a result of intelligence reports that elements within the Niger Delta Militants and Biafra Agitators were being sponsored by agents of the Peoples Democratic Party to blow up oil pipelines and make the Buhari Government suffer economic crunch.

 Militants from both the Niger Delta and the South East attended a meeting where agreement to blow up oil installation was discussed and I was also aware of that meeting. Buhari was advised by intelligence sources, political advisers and loyalists to cut off sections of the Niger Delta Militants from teaming up with Biafra agitators. This was coming at the heels of renewed uncensored vulgar messages from Nnamdi Kanu of Radio Biafra conditioning the minds of the people that Buhari is a terrorist-elect, child rapist and all manners of things said without consultation with the Igbo nation.

Rev JMJ Emesin, Father of Igbo Pentecostal Revival is Dead : Igbo Mandate Congress Celebrates the transition of a gospel saint

Igbo Mandate Congress IMC announces the death of Rev Dr J J Emesin, father of Pentecostal revival in the South Eastern part of Nigeria.

 

This sad event took place on the 7^th of December, 2015 at our Lord’s Hospital Ukpor, Anambra State, a day after he agreed to be admitted into a hospital.

Until his death, Rev Dr Emesin trained  about eighty percent of notable gospel ministers from the South East before and after the civil war  and his input was instrumental to the famous Pentecostal revival which broke out in the zone in the early seventies when preaching with Bible was a taboo in the Igbo dominated area. Rev Dr Emesin was the rallying point of the young generation of vibrant, tongue talking  young men and women who abandoned the world and sought for Jesus as though there will be rapture the next day.

Rev Dr Emesin inculcated into them a sense of abandonment of self to Christ, and stood by them when the orthodox Catholic and Anglican Missions fought the revivalist movements.  A highly educated personality, Pa Emerson got further training in the United States of America where he also established some mission stations before returning back to Nigeria after a few years.

Igbo mandate Congress Condoles with Shiites over Massacre, seeks Release of Sheikh Zakzaky

Igbo Mandare Congress, IMC wishes to officially condole with families of massacred members of Islamic Movement of Nigeria, IMN, over the massacre of Zaria where estimated one thousand persons Shiite Muslims met untimely death.

Igbo Mandate Congress, IMC had previously condemned the massacre especially when it was suspected that the death loll was ninety. Reports have shown that estimated one thousand persons were victims of the massacre, including the three children of Sheikh Zakzaky, leader of the sect.

Igbo Mandate Congress views with outrage a situation whereby out of eight children of a religious leader, six were killed by the Nigerian Army over incidences which patience and dialogue could have resolved.
IMC also noted that even the wounded were abducted from the hospitals and their whereabouts still unknown while the leader of the sect is still in military custody, instead of getting the best of medical attention.
IMC wishes to state that the officers and men of the Nigerian Army should be taught the modern rules of dealing with civilian altercations, and should know that the frequent release of bullets is now outdated.
IMC demands that the military should accept that they reacted over the issue and take corrective actions to avoid a future repeat of this ugly incidence.
